My thoughts can by no means be nonetheless. I’m all the time pondering, all the time planning, all the time dreaming. And after mentioning the opposite day that I need to make some modifications within the hallway rest room, I haven’t been capable of cease enthusiastic about it. It’s been our foremost rest room ever since we purchased this home. It’s been the one rest room for showering and preparing for the day for 9.5 years now. However now that we now have an actual, completed, functioning grasp rest room, this room solely must be a visitor rest room.
So with its new function as solely a visitor rest room, it simply feels proper to make some modifications. I made a decision that I wished to do some updates as a result of, after residing with the self-importance in its present coloration for a few years, I’ve determined that it’s simply too orange for my style. I’d prefer it to be a bit extra pinkish coral. Right here’s what it appears to be like like now.
After which I shared that the bathe curtain is somewhat too “major colours” for me as effectively. I dug into my cloth stash, discovered the leftover cloth from the lounge pillows (aka, my favourite floral cloth ever), and draped it over the bathe curtain rod to see what that may appear to be. I added this image to the publish just a few days in the past, but it surely was an edit later within the day, so a lot of you’ll have missed it.
It’s excellent. I really like that cloth a lot, so I’m undoubtedly going to make use of that. And that provides me plenty of colours to select from for the brand new self-importance coloration. I’ll select a coloration from these large pink flowers.
Nicely, after I shared these upcoming modifications just a few days in the past, I remembered that I nonetheless have half a slab of the Vicostone Elysian quartz that we used for the grasp rest room counter tops. I needed to buy an entire slab, and so they solely used half of it for the lavatory. It’s been sitting on the countertop place with my identify on it, and I’m certain they’d wish to get it out of their manner. The plan had been for them to ship it to my home, and for me to retailer it till I’m prepared to make use of it (I had been enthusiastic about our future laundry room), however I may use the remainder within the hallway rest room!
I nonetheless must go decide up the pattern and check it out on this rest room, however I’m very hopeful that it’s going to work. The ground and the accent tile within the wainscoting each have grey in them. I’m simply hoping it’s the best grey.
Right here’s a reminder of what that countertop appears to be like like…
It’s grey, but it surely reads as mild and brilliant, relatively than darkish. Whereas I’ve beloved the heat of the wooden countertop in that loo, and I’ve been completely amazed at how effectively a pine countertop has held up in there (particularly contemplating that it’s been our foremost rest room all this time), I believe I’m prepared for a change. And because the slab is already paid for, I’d simply must pay fabrication prices.
I believe I’ll hold the wooden ceiling, although. I nonetheless love the way in which it appears to be like, and I like the heat it provides to the room. However y’all can inform me what you assume. Maintain the darkish stained wooden? Or paint it white just like the music room ceiling?
Right here’s one other peek of the room as it’s now the place you may see the ceiling…
And for comparability, right here’s the identical ceiling (each are made with 1/4-inch plywood strips) painted white…
So you may let me know what you assume. Maintain it stained, or paint it white?
I additionally talked about the opposite day that I need to change out the fixtures to gold/aged brass. This rest room is the one room in the home that has brushed nickel steel in it. The remainder of the home has both black or gold/aged brass steel. So I’ve spent somewhat time taps and sconces.
Taps aren’t that thrilling, however sconces are very enjoyable to buy. I’ve been conserving my eye out for some fairly sconces whereas I scroll Instagram, and the opposite day, I used to be stopped mid-scroll by some wonderful sconces in a rest room. I ended instantly and looked for them to see how a lot they price. Right here’s the sconce…
That’s the Visual Comfort Alberto wall sconce in Plaster White, and it prices $439.00. In fact it does. And y’all know me higher than to assume I’d think about paying virtually $900 for 2 sconces for a visitor rest room.
After which I noticed this one by the identical firm. That is the Visual Comfort Alberto wall sconce in the medium size, additionally within the White Plaster end.
I favored that one much more, but it surely’s $579. As a lot as I find it irresistible, I may by no means justify paying $1158 for 2 sconces. They’re little artistic endeavors, so there’s nothing unsuitable with their value. I’m simply not their goal buyer. I’m extra of a Goal buyer. 😀
However I wasn’t fairly prepared to surrender on the concept of flower wall sconces, so a bit extra looking led me to this sconce…
That’s the Meridian Lighting 19-inch LED wall sconce from 1-800Lighting. Do I prefer it as a lot because the Visible Consolation mild? Nope. It doesn’t have that hand sculpted plaster look to it. I doesn’t look as substantial. And it doesn’t have the gold contained in the petals. However at $122 (on sale proper now for $103.70), it’s extra in my price range. And if I actually wished to, I believe I may do some DIYing and make the cheaper sconces look extra just like the costly ones.
All the sconces additionally are available in a gold end. Right here’s what the cheap one appears to be like like in gold.
After seeing what the costly sconces appear to be in a gold end (a very stunning gold leaf look), the cheap sconce in gold appears to be like low-cost to me. The humorous factor is that I in all probability would have beloved it had I seen that sconce first. However seeing the costly ones first set my expectations too excessive.
In order of this second, I’m leaning in the direction of the cheap white ones with some DIYing to make them look extra just like the costly ones. I like a problem. 🙂
